I'm accepted to ~30 rank B-school (everything covered)
i din't apply to any top school because my gmat was low (650) and working experience (had 6 months of full time and 2 years of part time experience) was not completely stellar.
i could have applied to 20-25 rank school, but as an international student i was afraid to take a loan.
so I have 2 alternatives:
1) to go to 30-rank MBA this fall
2) to finish my MS in Economics this year and to lend some job, work for a couple of years, and then apply to top school. However, as an international student i'm not sure whether I will find a job in US that will enable me to earn experience suitable for top school!!
job opportinities are quite limited for internationals with either MS or 2-tier MBA ...
I would appreciate your insights very much. Do you think strategy #2 may work well?
I want to build corporate career in US in nearsest 15 years, and then probably switch to entrepreneurship.

Depends on a school... USC is ~30 rank B-school 
Lets see... you only one shot at MBA, IMHO you should make it worth your time. Don't waste it.
What advantage will you get from doing MBA right now? As you said, you will still be in the same trouble finding a job and deal with immigration. Speaking of immigration you have a much better chance going after Ph.D.
I would go after plan B. You can do your MBA later when it will make a significant impact on your career.
